Square-Go: Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 Review

Square-Go Writes:

"Also added are a series of multiplayer modes, allowing you to either compete against or cooperate with your friends. The stand-out multiplayer mode is one in which control of a ship is split between two players, with one steering and the other firing the weapons: encouraging friendship-ruining arguments of the like not seen since Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Nintendo Gamecube. The lack of an online extension to this vitriol-fuelled multiplayer is the game's one major failing."

"Despite this, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is an exceptionally fun, exceptionally pretty game that is destined to replace your life in the outside world with warped gridlines and fizzing neon. It is not just one of the best games available on Xbox Live Arcade: it is one of the best games available for the Xbox 360. Not bad for a series which began as a hidden extra five years ago."

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.

Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.

I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2551d ago

Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
